WHAT IS IT?
The Kids Tech Day is a FREE event to provide knowledge & skills to children between the ages 7-14 with a one-day, hands-on learning environment focused on emerging technology. This event is designed to connect curious kids with industry professionals to learn about developing technology and show how these tools are used in businesses every day.
WHAT IS THE EVENT LIKE?
We will have 5 unique learning stations. Upon arrival, each child will receive a Tech Passport Book. Once each child has visited each station to learn about that tech-topic, a stamp will be applied to each child’s Tech Passport. Children who collect all 5 stamps and complete their Tech Passport will be entered for a chance to win an Makey Makey Invention Kit.
